Jain Saint Namramuni Maharaj’s Appeal to Bring Arih to India
Namramuni Maharaj, a revered Jain saint, wrote a letter to PM Modi to bring Arih to India. He appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi while joining his hands. On the fourth day of Paryushan Parva and in celebration of Mahavir Janma Kalyanak, National Saint Namramuni Maharaj addressed a massive gathering at the sacred pilgrimage site of Girnar in India.

PM Modi’s Humble Appeal to Bring Arih to India
Namramuni Maharaj expressed that India’s highly influential Prime Minister has the power to invite any head of state to India due to his global influence. Through the efforts of Prime Minister Modi, the Indian girl can reunite with her mother. Therefore, he urged them to take prompt action, emphasizing that this appeal is on behalf of him and the entire Jain community. Namramuni Maharaj further revealed that the girl has no family support in Germany, as Bhavesh and Dhara Shah, who were allegedly the girl’s parents, have not given custody of her to their family. He concluded by urging everyone present to appeal to India’s Prime Minister Modi to ensure that Arih returns to India and reunites with her parents.
